    Ugly, heavy, bad aerodynamics, too much free stroke, ride worse from stiffer fork, more complicated to install/maintain, smells of mountain biking.

    Can anyone explain the extra wee bar sticking out of the forks/bottom of the headtube? I presume this kind of apparatus is not UCI legal anymore?
